DATA LOGGER SYSTEMS DATA LOGGER SYSTEMS

  • Data LOGGER SYSTEMS (DLS) ARE ELECTRONIC

SYSTEMS USED TO:

  • 1. MONITOR MATERIAL APPLICATION CONDITIONS

i.e. ambient temperatures

  • 2. PROVIDE REAL‐TIME DATA OF ACTUAL

APPLICATION PARAMETERS i.e. pounds of glass beads put down

  • 3. ALLOWS STRIPERS TO MAINTAIN APPLICATION

The Plate Test The Plate Test

1. Place an aluminum plate around 24 in. x 8 in. under the paint gun of the striping truck paint gun of the striping truck. Aluminum plates are supplied through the Office of Materials Management (OMM), Chemical Section Section. 2. Allow the striping truck to stripe

  • ver the plate in order to get a

stripe of the desired thickness th l t

  • n the plate.

3. Send the striped plate to the OMM , Chemical Section for film thickness testing. 4. Send the contractors’ DLS average mils applied data as comparison for the film thickness testing results. Note: Be careful not to damage the paint stripe on the plate.

The Bead Weight Test The Bead Weight Test

1. Check and record the bead weight

  • n the DLS electronic data sheet

W1.

  • 2. Obtain an object of known weight,

minimum of twenty (20) pounds, i.e. a fifty pound bag of glass beads.

  • 3. Place the weight on top of the

bead tank. Keep the weight in position on top of the tank and check and record the new weight W2, on the DLS electronic data sheet sheet. 4. Subtract W1 from W2 to get the known weight of the object used. W2 – W1 = weight of the object of known weight used known weight used. Correct test results confirms the proper operation of the bead tank load cells as well as the accuracy of load cells as well as the accuracy of the data on the spreadsheet.

The Infrared Thermometer Test

1. Use a hand‐held Infrared Thermometer to measure road surface temperature, ambient temperature, and/or striping material temperature. 2. To operate the infrared thermometer, follow the manufacturer’s operating procedures procedures. 3. Compare temperature readings to the data on the appropriate DLS electronic screen. 4. Temperature readings on the DLS screen should be within +/‐ / 5% of the thermometer readings.

The Humidity Test

1. Measure the ambient humidity with the use of a Sling Hydrometer. 2. To operate the sling hydrometer follow the hydrometer, follow the manufacturer’s operating procedures. 3. Compare humidity readings to the data on the appropriate DLS electronic screen. 4. Humidity readings on the DLS screen should be within +/‐ 5% of the hydrometer y readings.

The Distance Traveled Test

1. Testing the Distance Traveled d h DLS El i D data on the DLS Electronic Data Screen can be done using a distance wheel like the one shown in the picture. 2. To operate the distance wheel, follow the manufacturer’s

  • perating procedures.

3. Compare distance readings to p g the data on the appropriate DLS electronic screen. 4. Distance readings on the DLS screen should be within +/‐ 5% screen should be within +/ 5%

  • f the distance wheel readings.

5. DLS distance data can also be checked using mile markers and an odometer an odometer.

SUMMARY SUMMARY

  • THE SPECIFIED ANNUAL CALIBRATION OF DATA LOGGER SYSTEMS (DLS) IS THE

PRIMARY CHECK OF THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEMS.

  • THE TESTS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRESENTATION ARE MEANT TO BE DONE IN A

RANDOM FASHION TO:

  • 1. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER CALIBRATION
  • 2. DETERMINE IF THE SYSTEM IS THE CAUSE OF SUSPICIOUS

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD APPLICATION OF STRIPING MATERIAL

  • ONE OR ALL OF THE TESTS MAY BE USED TO CHECK DLS OPERATION
  • THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTION OF THESE TESTS WILL BE DONE IN

COOPERATION BETWEEN THE DISTRICTS AND THE OFFICE OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT, CHEMICAL SECTION.
